Honolulu papers of the first of July con-
tain interesting accounts of the agitation for
change in the government then going on,
and which eliminated few days later in
pitching out the ministry, neck and heels,
and placing the King practically under
guardianship. On the afternoon Of June 80
great mass meeting was held at the armory
of the Honolulu Rifles for the purpose, to
quote the language of the call, "of taking
into consideration the present mal-adminis-
tration OF public affairs, and to consider
means Of redress" Drawn up in front of
the building were the Honolulu Rifles, each
private carrying seventy rounds of ammuni-
ton, and the officers armed with loaded re-
.volvers. Inside was a polyglot gathering
made up Of Americans, Germans, English
men, Portuguese, Cinnamon and Hawaiians.
The meeting proceeded to business in very
matter-of-fact way. A set of resolutions had
been drawn up beforehand and the chair
man Of the meeting proceeded to read them.
They declared that the administration was
corrupt and incompetent, and had ceased in
consequence to afford protection to person.
al and property rights; that evils exist which
must be "remedied at once" On these dec.
larations as basis it was demanded first
that the King turn his cabinet and form a
new one made up of certain gentlemen who
were specified; second, that Walter M. Glib
son be dismissed from every office third, that
the King return $71 900 recently obtained by
him lin violation Of law and of his oath of
Office; fourth, that Junius Kaae who helped
the King steal the $71.000 be dismissed from
Office; fifth, that specific pledge be required
from the King that he will not in the future
interfere directly or indirectly with the cleo
ton of representatives and will not attempt
to unduly influence legislation or legislators
These resolutions were earnestly support.
ed in ive-minute speeches In English and
Hawaiian in which the King and his minis
tiers were handled without gloves. He was
accused of perfdy, of using troops to control
elections, and one speaker declared that
should Queen Victoria commit such wrongs as
Kalakaua had she would not live twenty-four
hours. Perhaps the most significant feature
Of the meeting was the appearance of the
commander Of the Honolulu Rifles on the
platform. He was in full uniform and armed
with rifle and belt Of cartridges. He
said that he did not want to fight ''but his
tone and manner belied his words" When
the meeting broke up delegation presented
the resolutions at the palace What followed
is well known. The King succumbed, turned
out his ministry and promised better fash
ions. How well he will keep his promises
remains to be seen. But the Honolulu Rifles
are not disbanded, and its commander and
his command are as ready to fight as ever.

What possible advantage could come to the
German Socialists or anybody else from the
murder Of the Emperor William it is difficult
TO see. The present Kaiser is as liberal
monarch as bis successor would be likely to
be, especially if he came to the throne
through the striking down of his father by a
conspirator. Perhaps the idea was to
strike terror" but that process in Germany
is pretty likely to be met by retaliation in
kind. Had the King been murdered Social
ism would have been outlawed, and the be-
levers In that doctrine would have been
compelled to renounee it or seek an asylum

Nova Scotia, or one county, has had an OPP
portunity to express its opinion as to com
mercial union with the United States, and
the verdict, contrary to general expectation,
is unfayorable An election for member of
the House Of Commons was held there last
week, in which this question was prominent.
The government, or anti-union, candidate
was returned by small majority. 1t is sus-
pected, however, that the fact that at the last
session of Parliament this county got mu-
nifcent appropriations for harbor improve
ments had much to do with the result.

Inc loss OF the steamer Merrimac has af-
forded to the newspapers of the Maritime
PROVINCES an opportunity to discourse on
the inferiority or i'll success of United
States seamanship." Within the past ten
or twelve years, according to the Halifax
Herald, dozen or more American steamers,
running to the lower provinces, have been
wrecked. Among them are the two steam
ers Of the International Line All these
ships were commanded by American officers.
The Herald also claims that there are
much larger number of casualties connected
with the American fisheries, in proportion,
than in connection with the fisheries of any
other nation. Hence ii is inferred that there
is something radically wrong with American
seamanship, either that Americans have lost
whatever of the blood of the sea kings they
ever inherited, or do not exercise sufficient
care In granting certificates to the officers Of
their merchant marine." Weagree with our
Bluenose contemporary that American sea-
men have been very unfortunate in Provin-
cial waters, that we have lost many brave
men and gallant vessels in those parts with
In the last ten years. But it by no means
follows that this is due to the inferiority of
our seamen. 1t cannot have been in the de-
sign Of the creation that the coasts of the
Maritime Provinces should be the resort of
commerce. Phenomenal tides. like the surg
ing OF deiuge, run in upon the shores, over
which hang ghostly fogs that envelope
treacherous whirlpools and deadly rocks
ocean graveyards. Had America been dis
covered when Homer sang Of the wander
ings OF Ulysses, he9would certainly have
sent the willy Zero around by Halifax and
the Bayou Fundy for taste of perils beside
which the perplexities of Scylla and Charyb-
dis would have been mere sport That Yam
kee seamen are bold enough to brave such
perils in order TO extend the benefits of com
merce to people who are not responsible for
the unaccountable perversity of the ances-
tors who sought those shores, is a great
blessing that should be accepted with CRATE
full feelings, not with criticism when some of
our brave men meet with misfortunes.

Ar VARIANCE WITH fHE DAY. We
took occasion Yesterday to refer To the
altogether too prevalent tendency Of turn
ing Memorial Day into a day of feStvity,
something that cannot be regarded other
wise than entirely al variance with the
solemn services Of decorating the graves
of the veterans of the late war, and we
therefore regret that this particular day
should have been fixed upon for game of
base bali between the Bangor team and the
State College team. A great many of our
citizens take deep interest in base ball,
enjoy the game and wish to encourage the
management of the home team by their
liberal patronage, but many of them also
feel that there are days enough during the
season in which to witness this sport with
out selecting the one day which is set
apart to scatter flowers on the graves of
the soldiers and otherwise pay due respect
10 their memories Entertaining these
views we cannot but express deep regret
that Memorial Day has been selected for
the inauguration of the base ball season in
Bangor Bangor Wing.
